Daww, bless. Look at her cute bulbous eyes, her delightful button nose. Wouldn’t you like to take her home and look after her forever? So would we want to see a film about the fluffy furball? Hardly. The sheer cuteness factor would soon become overwhelming, and only the most simpering of children could take such an overdose of adorability for longer than the average running time of an episode of animated series Star Wars: Ewoks. For a movie about Nippet to be anything approaching bearable, it would have to follow her growing into a precocious Ewok warrior, falling in love with a brave, handsome Ewok who swept her off her paws, marrying him and living happily ever after in their treehouse where they amused themselves by playing drums on old Stormtrooper helmets. All of which is fine, but at the end of the day, they’re Ewoks, and any semblance of a plot would be secondary to the amount of merchandising Disney could sell off the back of the film. So before this idea goes any further, let’s Nippet in the bud (sorry).

I think the utter demise of said characters in short films - making one good Star Wars promo for Disney's HANDS OFF approach would restore faith in the franchise. As long as incredibly gifted writers, who could direct such comedy material in the way that Marvel Studios restored the whole idea of short films as a promo could be incredibly enjoyable to watch. I personally would like to see the utter demise of all of these characters, in Star Wars historically accurate time lines. Who would not want to see Darth Vader step on the tiny robot who is about to deliver the most important message ever to the Federation, leading Darth Vader into more heavy labored breathing anger (leading to more deaths of other side characters); mutant killer baby Ewok caused by the Federation Industrial Complex - wiping out the cannibalistic Ewoks into extinction. Get the picture? If not, then there is no Operation funny bones in the Galaxy.
Just make sure Joss Whedon gets to do one. I am sure there woulMore

How about the Sarlacc? At least it's digestive system could justify a trilogy unlike The Hobbit.
